Why do we use cold storage?

COLD STORAGE

Cold Storage
refers to the system of storing perishable commodities like food to
prevent them from decaying. Such a system demands an artificial
set-up where the temperature is kept typically low, sometimes below
the freezing point. Apart from storing food, this system becomes
inevitably important for storing cell samples, blood samples,
vaccines and pharmaceuticals. The word "cold
storage"
can well be applied to something as small as a refrigerator or as big
as a warehouse. In a situation where there are increasing demands for
food supply, perishable goods become a liability owing to their
tendency towards decaying. Cold storage preserve these types of
edible items and lengthen the time for marketing the food. Cold storage are one of the many reasons for the expanding food trade all
over the world. In recent years, Asia has started following the trend
of using cold storage facilities. A business largely dependent on
cold storage system can take resort to CRS Mobile Cold Storage, known
for supplying portable cold storage units.

While cold storage
systems are gaining immense vitality all over the globe, India still
needs to gear up a bit to improve her cold storage units. Recent
studies have revealed that most of the cold storage warehouses in
India are adapted only to store potatoes, a vegetable that accounts
for not more than 20% of revenue derived from agriculture. India, a
country where economy depends a lot on agriculture, perishable goods
indeed need a room to sustain and survive.

In a world of "give
and take", cold storage systems help the companies to provide
fresh and alluring commodities to buyers. In fact, they prevent the
occurrence of any unfavourable situations due to decayed food products
or medicines. There are myriads of cold storage processes and one
needs to make the one right choice before investing. Not all food
freeze successfully at a given temperature so it may otherwise affect
the taste of the food. So it becomes quite essential to give proper
attention while constructing cold storage units and maintaining an
optimal temperature (taking all kinds of foods in
consideration).Cold
storage
once built properly steers away a great many number of hindrances.
With its function to preserve, it plays the two-way role of
preserving the edibles and thereby reducing the amount of waste and
loss.
